Blog FeedGiving Thanks
It’s that time of year. The time to make mental lists of all the things you’re thankful for. As I sift through recipes for the best mashed potatoes or the creamiest pumpkin pies, I am thankful for the bounty that is available to me. I am thankful for my local Trader Joe’s, which I know will be stocked full of just the right honey or cheese or squash.
But I know I am among the fortunate to have such bounty at my fingertips. I remember those who are living on less than a dollar a day. And I am thankful that I am in a position to share their stories.
And at work, as the emails pile up and the paper copier jams, I am thankful that there are people out there thinking of their own bounty–and giving a little back.
To the interns and volunteers who tirelessly show up for work day after day and pitch in to help carry the load–thank you. To the vendors who ensure that our annual reports arrive in time for our yearly mailing–thank you. To the Trustees who are lending their expertise to make this the best organization it can be–thank you. To the donors who send us that little bit of extra bounty they can spare because they know it will make the life of a family better–thank you. To the many supporters Freedom from Hunger is blessed to have around the world–thank you. And for the new readers who are visiting our website for the first time and have taken the time to stop and read this–thank you.
Thank you for spreading the word. Thank you for your extra donations. Thank you for caring and for making it possible for us to end hunger… for good. Together, we truly are making a difference.
